Classes begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday's. Busses will run on their normal schedule. However, students who are dropped off or drive do not need to arrive that early. Again, classes begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday's.
Breakfast is FREE for all students and should be taken to 1st block to eat before school. Lunch is also FREE for all students.
I will send these announcements via email and Canvas each weekend. These announcements include several important items. However, they are not all inclusive.

We are limited on the number of loaners we have and first priority goes to students needing repairs. Thank you. |
